That was a three part documentary made by the BBC made about 2009. The Perfumers organ he’s talking about is over 100 years old and the perfumer in that room was Thierry Wasser and it was a Shalimar variation.
Yes

Thank you both 🙏 I’m definitely going to watch that right now
As someone who has watched that doc a thousand times it’s funny to hear Aaron conflating several scenes together from memory😂.
The making of Tommy Loud…Jacques Guerlain’s organ museum…and the making of Shalimar in the factory.
I would love an updated one just as in depth or longer with the frag community on TH-cam involved.
The documentary features a young Quentin Bisch in perfume school, which is such a treat! He stated his dream was to walk down the street and smell a fragrance he created on a woman. ☺ Dream achieved.
As for Santal Royal, I Love your chemist/perfumer take on fragrances. I learn so much from you. As a woman, Santal Royal is my sexy, mysterious scent I wear at night when feeling a little vampy. Little black dress, leather jacket, a smoky eye. It's a mood.
Finally you review Santal Royal 🔥👌
This smell amazing, Oud, Rose, Peach ❤
Stunning!!
The moment you said 'I'd love more patchouli in it actually', I just lost it 🤣 The marketing woman was right
What woman
@isobel64 you clearly didn't watch did you, one of those casuals that go straight to comment section without watching
They weren’t talking about this perfume
Ok, Sheldon Cooper@@87linceed
Same😂😂😂😂😂😂🤷🏼♂️
been waiting for this review for a while, great stuff🙏🙏
Thank you for another great review. I have been watching this one gir years and this is by far the most comprehensive review I've seen on it. Will buy❤
Love your reviews, as always, and really want to try this house now that it has the triple seal of approval :-) gracias Aaron!
Great review Aaron. Excellent.
Aaron thank you kindly. Much appreciated 👍❤
Fantastic review as always this is one of my favorites for winter this used to be a much stronger scent they have weakened it on the latest formulations. Please review Chariot, Hyde Park and Blue Sapphire from Boadicea.
Great review!
I’ve been waiting for this review and I knew you’re gonna love it 😄 we live in Iran and my aunt brought this for us years ago when she came back from Austria. Ofc for us with our horrible economy perfumes are extra expensive and unreachable. But since this smells sooooooo expensive and lovely my mom immediately thought it’s like 500 dollars and locked it away lol. I finally convinced her to let me at least try it once and yes it’s my favorite oudy woody perfume ever. She went back to hiding it tho.
Thank you Aaron.
Hi Aaron, i currently received your 25 sample set, cant wait to try them all and find my favourites! This may take some time because it is a very good set of your fragrance house!
Aaron! You missed the ether maltol. It was whipping through the base!😂
Great video as always. What from your own range would you reccomend that has a similair scent profile to this? Or something abit darker?
Excellent review as always. 👌I have a bottle of this and bought it blind in the pandemic period. I was disappointed because the rose was too synthetic and harsh and I missed that creamyness in the sandalwood. But it developed well in the bottle and it's growing on me. I read on the Fragrantica the latest formulation is less strong. My version is very strong and long lasting. I like Jo Malone Velvet Rose & Oud more. It's in my opinion more elegant and the performance is great. It definitely has a similarity with the Guerlain. Greetings from Holland.🌹
Aaron, love your reviews. I'd love it if you could review some fragrance from Masion Crivelli as there quickly becoming one of my favorite houses. Review anything from their extrait line but Oud Maracuja and Oud Stallion by Jordi Fernandez are my favorite thus far. Pricey but but preformance and I think you'd find them interesting.
Love Guerlain! Initio content
Next please!
One of my favs 😍
I have one of the sample bottles of oud noir. It smells beautiful! Honestly might be in my top 3 of your fragrances, and it’s not even really my style of cologne either. I prefer the more fresh citrusy scents of yours, but I love this one a lot!
I recently purchased a decant of this. Beautiful fragrance. Still trying to determine if it's right for me, though I am leaning towards a bottle.
I bought this a couple of weeks ago and yes, this is 🔥
Santal Royal and Oud essential are my favorite from the line 🔥
I totally remember seeing that video too
This one grew on me and became one of my all time fav! Seems quite simple at first sniff but it's quite intricate and full of nuances, all perfectly balanced.
An interesting fact: If you spray it on a paper strip, smell it, then put it away and breath again it gives an 'aftertaste', quite dry and scratchy. I believe it's some amber or sandalwood material dosed quite high.
Update: pretty sure it's Javanol
Hey, Aaron! Can you review Odyon Dubai Scorpion Intense?
I love Santal Royal. It's the only Guerlain perfume of which I own a full bottle. Got it for under $120 a few years ago, and it was a great buy for that price. The cinnamon really shines through on my skin once the opening begins to fade.
When do I buy perfume and how strong is it?
I just have this on my shelf now for when women come over and need something to wear for various reasons. Funny story though, a lady friend of mine who "dances" used the sample i got for this and she said she got so many compliments for it because the gentlemen never smelled the scent before in that type of establishment lol
I just got a sample of Santal Royal. Its a bit too floral to me.
So i went with Bois Mysterieux. Now that's a spicy beast. Top Guerlain scent for sure.
I have the entire collection! Please review Cuir Intense, there's a wall of fragrance!
Could you review a Jovoy fragrance please x
What do you think about the new PdM Althair?
Phewww😅 such a relief when your fav perfume is loved and approved by pro 😎
couldn't agree more it certainly is woody gourmand ❤
Can you please review Guerlain Homme?
I like it, but not sure if I would wear it enough.
i heard there was a reformulation of this. i have the newer one and it lacks the leather note
Love Santal Royal, it is the one made me buy the entire collection.
I'm wondering if they have reformulated it as one thing I've never thought is that it needs to be stronger! It's a beast and one spray is usually more than enough for anyone.
Please review Cuir Intense it is the next best in the line IMO!
Some of them are a little too unisex towards feminine for me but Santal Royal, Cuir Intense and Oud Essentiel are incredible.
i just tried this last week, it doesn’t last 2 hours on my skin and i can’l barely smell it
@@zackz1260 i believe there are to formulas mine doesn't smell or last as long on skin as the older one
Your impressions are fantastic 😂😂😂😂
I guess I will try a sample
Can you review santal pao Rosa?
Got my first from the house which is guerlain Platine prive and I fucking love it. I will be getting more from this house
Sounds awesome!
could you review Rochas L'homme
Great review , have it live it and glad you loved it too . Seems my taste aint that bad 😂
7 minutes, only to get to the same conclusion as the marketing lady, they need to add MORE patchouli! I think you've made the perfumers stare at each other once again.
Aaron was quite clever with that one 😂
🤣🤣🤣 I thought the same thing!
Would u recommend this over oud essentiel for someone who’s favorite dna is that of ombre nomade and Arabians tonka?
how hard would it be to meet the perfumer from their company to discuss your creations. its never been done before or recorded apparently.
Hi i'm french 🇨🇵 i have this collection 😍 fantastique fragrance 👍
Nobody cares if you are french
Will have to try it 😊
Definitely high quality perfume.
I read a lot of reviews about this perfume and some of this year’s releases became weak. Is it still performing well?
Hi, sorry I don't know much about the ingredients and chemistry, but how is this natural if you list all those chemicals?
But was there real oud in it? :)
Guerlain is one of my favorites
Ideal Extreme is breathtaking
@@FullChamber yea the Ideal stuff is really nice,
This and gucci intense oud smell similar to my nose..
They watered this down. It used to smell like a magnificent jammy rose, with smoky oud and animalic jasmine now it's poupouri.......
I love Santal Royal, not in this heat though
I find it odd that Middle Eastern scents, such as this one, are not recommended during summer months......meanwhile, the Middle East remains one of the hottest regions on the planet...😂😂😂 The"winter" season to wear all of the so-called "winter fragrances" barely exists there. They BLAST strong oud-based fragrances all year long with no 2nd thought. Maybe we should follow suit by strengthening and improving our sense of smell and its versatility. 🤷🏾♂️😂
@@Bang4711 or maybe they should learn the art of subtlety/variety :)
@@m.s.g1890100% most of them are beastmode that I don’t dig
@@Bang4711those ouds aren’t even from their countries to begin with. But there are some dry resins type of scent that I can appreciate for warm, dry climate (still a no for this UK heatwave) like some Andy Tauer’s or Larmes du Désert Atelier des Ors or Taklamalan SHL777.
@@Bang4711oh, and for Santal Royal, I wouldn’t say it’s more appropriate in colder weather. More so there’s an exception like crazily hot days or precipitation days, because that sandalwood turns sour in humidity.
ATH agrees with the marketing woman! Get some patchouli in that formulation! 😜
OmG. 😂😂😂😂😂 how did you just name that .?
It's pronounced as 'geRHla(n)" not "garlein"
I've heard it pronounced many ways, from "gerrr lane" , "gur loin" to " gar lan".
My favorite is " gwa lawn".
Is it possible to review Dior homme parfum please?
Send him a sample
Idk but this one smells like a sunk roadkill. It even makes my eyes water when I spray the sample. 😬
The difference between your reviews and others are astounding, a lot of idiots out there said that this doesn’t smell like sandalwood, I suppose they don’t know shit
👍👍👍

He laughs when he talks about certain notes at this point.😅 Especially when the "Ethylmolotol is whipping through the base".
Please review unique luxury perfume - crush on me
please tell aaron about this house by clicking like on my comment guys
I thought a perfumer's organ was something else...
Perfume is a funny industry. The real artists are hidden behind the curtain so to speak. Then some fool from marketing, or even worse a celebrity, tells the artist what to do. Then they claim to have “made” a perfume lol. Like, get over yourself. More perfumers need to branch out on their own like you.
There is a funny video put out by Frederic Malle (who I appreciate for putting the perfumers name on the bottle). Frederic Malle says he is a “perfume publisher”. Maurice Roucel give a bottle of Musc Ravageur to Frederic Malle saying “this is the best thing I’ve ever made and if you’re true to your word a perfume bearing my name will be this and nothing else” Frederic Malle then dead-eyes him and says “it needs top notes” 😂 And that my friends is the business of perfume not to be confused with the art of perfume. Got to make sure the boss thinks he is important
